<\/p>\nThe process from the bamboo stem to the prefinished flooring involves several processing phases; in brief these include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 sawing the bamboo stem which comes from the forest (just five to six year old plants, which are straight and round with a height of 15-20 metres, and which are 15-25 cm in diameter);<\/p>\n
\u2022 only the first half of the plant is used, which is the thickest one;<\/p>\n
\u2022 the entire culm is split into two equal parts, so that it can be shaped into two crescents;<\/p>\n
\u2022 both parts which have been cut are then heated and flattened to form a straight axle generated from the entire half of one plant;<\/p>\n
\u2022 unlike the material used to manufacture a parquet in classic lamellar bamboo, this procedure removes the inside nodes, however it leaves the green part intact, as this will form the outer part of the floor on which people walk;<\/p>\n
\u2022 the slates which are created are treated so that all of the nutrients, sugar and insects can be eradicated;<\/p>\n
\u2022 at this stage, the slates are conditioned and acclimatised for a few weeks which allows them to reach the correct humidity level (below 10%);![\"nature](\"https:\/\/www.pavibamboo.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/struttura-bambu-natura.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\u2022 the strips will still be allowed to rest for a few days so that they can continue to stabilise after they have been dried;<\/p>\n
\u2022 you can then select the best boards; the slates which have been processed are ready to be assembled into a whole slat; the board is formed of three crisscrossed layers of flattened bamboo, all of which is the same material;<\/p>\n
\u2022 the parts are subject to hydraulic pressing, which in turn forms an axis with a typical full-length bamboo node;<\/p>\n
\u2022 the axles will continue to rest for at least one week, which will provide them with maximum stability for this core; the heads are the cut off so that the slats are of the required length;<\/p>\n
\u2022 the male-female interlocking is generated on the four sides of the bamboo slats so that they can be laid with adhesive;<\/p>\n
